Soul Motion: Self-Empowerment
The reminder "we are enough" prevails throughout Soul Motion, and students are invited to sustain this attitude through the choices they make during the dance. In the body choir that is our unified dance, we learn that each has a role to play in the ultimate expression. This role includes reciprocal respect and appreciation for the unique perfection of each person within the diversity of the group, regardless of experience.

Vinn's Journal

4/1/2006

The pop up message on my computer informs “you have been fully restored”.

I am aghast. I am amazed. I am confidently relieved.

This is a message my soul longs to hear while my fear and desire ego bristles at the notion that I am in need of ANY kind of refurbishment.

This present day virtual phenomenon speaks to the everyday dance as a sequence of breaking up and restoration. Moment to moment gestures and steps take me apart and put me back together.

Remembering and forgetting, restoring and shattering truth becomes a two step fancy foot dance that I am in unending rehearsal with; for the show must go on!

The bones of the shaman

Shatter, they scatter

And re-arrange in their becoming.

She answers the call to dive deep and back to the break line

She dives again and returns to the surface.

Unending submerging and re-emerging

Her soul in motion

A vertical odyssey

Bringing treasures, resources, and riches

From the depths of exclusion

To the surface of engagement

This dance I am executing becomes a series of free falls and rebounds.

Today I welcome both, as rousing opportunities to view the way I am moving a life.

Can I take the good along with the bad, without judging?

Can I take the clear vision of assimilation and the black bag of failed and forlorn events and present both proudly as my steps in the everyday dance?

To be fully restored to deep nature, to be fully restored to the raw truth of this spinning and turning of events and conditions. This ascending and descending conical sphere traveling from the macro to the micro and back. This spiral stirring toward and away from a ground which always knows the extensiveness of every exacting event in this everyday dance that we do, alone together.

So, today, can I relax deeply and take pleasure in the everyday dance with all the breaks and stumbles and beauty and complexity that go with a grounded and embodied soul in motion?

In this moment I have been fully restored on the path of evolution and enlightenment.

Travel well………………vinn
